In slu-openGIS/cxy2: Access the U.S. Census Bureau Geographic APIs

censusxy

The censusxy package is designed to provide easy access to the U.S. Census Bureau Geocoding Tools in R. censusxy has also been developed specifically with large data sets in mind - only unique addresses are passed to the API for geocoding. If a data set exceeds 1,000 unique addresses, it will be automatically subset into appropriately sized API calls, geocoded, and then put back together so that a single object is returned. There is also support for parallel processing on Non-Windows platforms.

What’s New in v1.0.0?

• Full support for all Census Bureau Geographic Tools
• The syntax of cxy_geocode() has changed slightly to facilitate new options
• Non-Standard Evaluation (NSE) Has Been Removed
• censusxy now only has 1 dependency
• Parallel support added for Unix Platforms

Installing censusxy

The easiest way to get censusxy is to install it from CRAN:

install.packages("censusxy")

Alternatively, the development version of censusxy can be accessed from GitHub with remotes:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("slu-openGIS/censusxy")
